2.25. Utricularia praelonga A.St.-Hil. & Girard, Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de l’Académie des Sciences 7: 870 (1838). [Figs. 2 and 7L].

Terrestrial or helophyte. Aerial linear leaves. Slender and slightly stiff scape. Basifixed and basally connate bracts and bracteoles, plan and laciniate-denticulate margins. Ascending pedicels in fruits. Glandular sepals with conspicuous and prominent nerves, erose-denticulate margins. Yellow corolla, gibbous palate, entire to shallowly trilobed lower lip, curved and acute spur, as long as or longer than and parallel to the lower lip. Longitudinally dehiscing capsule.

Selected material:— Abaíra, Campo de Ouro Fino, 15 February 1992, fl. and fr., R.M. Harley 52064 (HUEFS, NY, R); Mucugê, Chapada Diamantina, Fazenda Pedra Grande estrada para Bonimal, 17 February 1997, fl. and fr., E. Saar PCD5829 (ALCB); Rio de Contas, Pico do Itobira, 02 January 2003, fl., R.M. Harley 54539 (HUEFS).

Comments:— Utricularia praelonga can be readily distinguished from all the other congeners in Bahia state by its basifixed and basally connate bracts and bracteoles with laciniate-denticulate margins, and yellow corolla with entire to shallowly trilobed lower lip. In the state, this species is found only in campos rupestres.
